Article Synopsis
- Marine organisms, like the Pacific oyster, are adversely affected by pesticides in coastal waters, with significant research showing the impacts of these chemicals on marine life.
- Recent studies indicate that pesticides can cause epigenetic changes, particularly in DNA methylation, which can influence not only the exposed generation but also future generations.
- Findings revealed that oysters from pesticide-exposed parents faced decreased metamorphosis and survival rates, suggesting that chronic pesticide exposure has lasting effects on marine organisms beyond individual development.
